This document discusses the need for life planning, also known as Rest of Your Life (ROYL) planning, given the aging Baby Boomer population in the U.S. It notes that while ancient cultures planned for death, and Greeks had beliefs about the afterlife, today only a small percentage of Americans have advanced directives. The document outlines how the author, a surgeon, became involved in ROYL planning after realizing doctors are often uncomfortable discussing end-of-life issues with patients. It argues that ROYL planning can improve quality of life and patient satisfaction while reducing healthcare costs.
